Another in my experiments and practice pieces...moving from composition to light in this. Using Emma Davies "A Year With My Camera" course to review basics.
I have heard such positive things from people who commit to Emma Davies’ course. There are so many pills on my life that I saved so the course, posted once and intend to revisit. I do the same with painting; in thing a lot about how to do/what but rarely get down to the task. The lighting in here is well placed.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Hi Jackie...glad you liked the rim-light...a lot of trail and error (I never even thought to use youtube on this!) Anyway, I tried different lights and wound up using a hardware store clamp lamp that has white light bulb. The trick seemed to be placing the mannequin as far from the light as possible -basically across the room. Also, I shot at the slightest downward angle I could...had I shot straight on I would have gotten either silhouette or too much glare from the light. Oh, I also diffused the light by using parchment paper over the lamp. Hope that helps.
@callymazoo Hi Cally, Emma Davies' class is really quite good, but she does pack a lot in. I'm jumping in and out. When I can. And I'm not looking at as a Job!!! Enough of that in life! lol.
Madeline how did you position the light? I cannot get rim lighting at all despite YouTube and other links! Ths is just perfect!!
Thank you for entering the challenge!
